The Neighbourhood Action Movement ({{langx|es|Movimiento de Acción Vecinal}}; MAV) is a national localist political party in Argentina based in Córdoba Province. It was founded in 1999 by Kasem Dandach, an immigrant from Lebanon who served as a provincial lawmaker. It has run its own candidates in presidential elections in 2015 and 2019; both times, it has failed to secure enough votes to cross the threshold mandated by the Mandatory, Open and Simultaneous Primaries (PASO) to participate in the general election.{{cite web|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/paso-2019-quienes-son-los-precandidatos-que-no-llegaron-a-octubre-nid2276551|work=La Nación|title=PASO 2019: quiénes son los precandidatos que no llegaron a octubre|date=11 August 2019|access-date=26 November 2020|language=es}} According to them, they are a centrist group, although the media consider them center-right.

According to Raúl Albarracín, the party's leader in Córdoba Province and twice presidential candidate, the Neighbourhood Action Movement stands for a free market economy, supporting regional economies in Argentina's provinces and introducing a reform of the judiciary.
